As I mentioned earlier, live corpses refer to using living people to create zombies. First, seal the person's soul, and then kill them with a sharp weapon. This way, the person's soul will remain in the body, and will be more complete, and the body will also be more intact.
Upon hearing the term live corpse, I frowned and suddenly said with a smile, "This idea is indeed quite clever. There are only a few of us living people here. If we were treated as live corpses in the making, the success rate of your zombie-making would probably instantly double, and it wouldn't be difficult to create walking corpses, right?"
"You," this person's face turned extremely unsightly upon hearing my words, "Who are you? How do you know all this?"
I ignored him and looked around at the surroundings, then said, "However, making zombies in a place like this is really a waste of resources. If you could set up a Yin Gathering Formation here, or pick a place with heavy Yin energy, the success rate of making zombies would probably double."
Upon hearing this, the zombie maker's expression suddenly froze, and he looked at me intently, murmuring, "How do you know all this? Tell me, who are you?"
"Hehe," I replied with a smile, "Didn't you just say it yourself? I'm just one of your live corpses, right?"
"No." The zombie maker suddenly became cautious, slowly backing away, "You are a Taoist practitioner, definitely, and also a high-level one. I never expected that my zombie-making would attract a Taoist practitioner like you. I have no intention of making enemies. Today, I will give you face and let you take them all away."
Upon hearing this, I was a bit stunned, but after a brief moment of contemplation, I felt that it made sense. Then I suddenly said, "So, are you planning to stay here and continue grave robbing and stealing corpses?"
"No, I promise you, I will leave here and never come back."
"Mm," I nodded and asked, "Will you still appear in Old Wah Town?"
"No," he continued, "I swear that from today onwards, I will leave Old Wah Town and never set foot in it again."
"Mm." I nodded again and said, "You can go, but let me remind you that corpse refining is against the natural order. It can harm others lightly, and can even cost your own life. Take care of yourself."
Upon hearing this, his nervous expression suddenly relaxed, and then he swiftly ran into the woods like a rabbit, disappearing from sight.
After seeing this scene, the parents of Pang Dun and others were dumbfounded, their eyes wide open. Everyone's gaze was fixed on me, looking at me with fascination.
I paid no attention to them, but let out a sigh of relief. Actually, on the surface, my conversation with the corpse refiner seemed ordinary, but in fact, there was much hidden meaning in our exchange.
At the beginning, I mentioned the concept of undead and the art of corpse refining, and anyone with a bit of discernment could tell that I was not an ordinary person. Then, I spoke about the Yin Gathering Formation and places with heavy Yin energy, distinctively referring to places where corpses are nurtured.
Talking about the nurturing ground for corpses was normal for someone like me, not an ordinary person, who naturally knew that bodies would decompose more easily in such a place. However, I had just mentioned the Yin Gathering Formation, which was not something that an ordinary person from my circle would know about.
The Yin Gathering Formation, also known as the Ghost Taming Formation, uses methods to attract fierce ghosts and then sets them up as the eyes of a large formation. Finally, the resentment of these fierce ghosts is used to nourish the corpses inside. This formation was what all corpse refiners were diligently seeking, even a formation that they longed for.
For people outside our circle, very few knew about the Yin Gathering Formation. So, when I mentioned it, he was completely surprised, and in the end, didn't ask for anything, turning around and fleeing. This was the real reason.
However, as for the Yin Gathering Formation, I had only heard about it from my second uncle and had no real understanding of what it was.
At this moment, seeing the fierce appearance of the corpse refiner who had initially spoken a few words to me but then suddenly fled, all the people present looked bewildered.
Looking at me and then at the direction the corpse refiner had left, Pang Dun's parents stammered, "Xiao Mu, what's the situation? How can that guy be so afraid of you?"
"No, he's not afraid of me. He probably got scared off by the number of people here." I shook my head and said, "Uncle, aunt, hurry and save Pang Dun."
"These..." My words clearly did not convince everyone, but they still looked at me hesitantly and then slowly went to rescue Pang Dun.
Pang Dun had indeed been placed with the corpses, and his mouth was tightly gagged with a piece of cloth. As soon as the cloth was removed, tears streamed down his face, "Duan Mu, I knew you'd come to save me. I just knew it."
With that, Pang Dun suddenly threw himself at me, tears flooding out and even some snot and saliva. Seeing this, I quickly pushed Pang Dun away, "Pang Dun, it's all over, don't cry."
"No, today I will cry as much as I want. How the hell did you take so long to come? I was lying with those corpses, and I was so damn scared. You have no idea, all those corpses were people who had just died in Lao Wa Town, I knew them all."
As he spoke, Pang Dun suddenly pressed his face against my neck, and his snot and saliva reached my chin. I felt a wave of disgust, but it was not appropriate to push him away, so I said again, "I know, I know. Pang Dun, don't cry."
"I'm going to cry, don't you care about me." Pang Dun sniffed and burst into tears.
"I..." I almost wanted to smash his head with a punch, but I had to control myself because Pang Dun's parents were watching.
At this point, seeing Pang Dun like this, the previously worried and scared people suddenly burst into laughter.
Helpless, I let Pang Dun lean on me like that, then suddenly turned to Pang Dun's parents, "Uncle, aunt, there's nothing to worry about now. Why don't you call the relatives of these corpses and let them come and claim the bodies themselves?"
"Okay, we understand, Xiao Mu." As they spoke, the people began to lift the corpses and make phone calls. They were busy until late at night before all the relatives of the deceased had arrived.
Now, seeing all the recently deceased people from Lao Wa Town lying here, the scene was so picturesque that everyone's eyes popped.
